I bought a new (to me) "Horseman L45" for a very modest price of less than $200 shipped. It appears basically unused. I imagine that back in the day it cost a bit more than that!
I'm happy to get one again after selling the one I had a few years ago.
However, this one is slightly different than the other model I had. That one had geared rise/fall and shift mechanisms that one operates by rotating a knob.
This one appears to have nothing other than a locking mechanism, without the integrated knobs to operate the rise/fall and shift.
I'm ok with the lesser specification, still a great camera, but operating the rise/fall and shift seems awkward as it appears you just grip the standard and manually press it up or down (or right left for shift after loosening the locks) instead of the smooth geared movement I was expecting. It isn't ergonomic.
I think this is the most basic model, perhaps not a L45 because the L45 displayed on the Horseman website has the rise/fall and shift geared knobs.
Which model do you think I have? Thanks.
